DALLAS, May 1, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- On April 18, 2020, Neighborhood Credit Union officially turned 90 years old.

History of Neighborhood Credit Union
The Dallas-based credit union opened their doors just months after the U.S. stock market crashed in 1930. During the Great Depression, when American confidence in financial institutions was at an all-time low, Dallas Postal Credit Union worked hard to earn trust and loyalty of its charter members. The first decade came with its own unique set of problems just as any company would, but Dallas Postal CU continuously grew with $151,119.76 (equal to over $2.8 million today) and 655 members. From 1940 to 2000, Dallas Postal CU continued to grow its membership and embrace the changes with technology, new products were introduced, and assets continued to increase. In 2001, the credit union officially changed its name to Neighborhood Credit Union, a name that more accurately defines the diverse base of members from all over the Dallas area.

Neighborhood Credit Union is fast growing with over 56,000 members and has assets that now top $850 million.

Birthday Wish
To celebrate their birthday, Neighborhood Credit Union is asking for everyone to contribute to an ongoing fundraiser for the North Texas Food Bank. Due to the coronavirus (COVID-19), millions are living in uncertainty and have lost their only source of income. Food banks all across the United States are struggling to keep up with the sudden shift in our society. This is exactly why we have pledged to donate dollar for dollar up to $25,000. If we successfully reach our goal, we can collectively donate over $50,000 to the North Texas Food Bank. You can donate today by visiting the Neighborhood Credit Union Facebook page.
